Dazed & Confused

You're strolling - you're walking - controlling the madness

Chanting and whispering with passion unfolding..

You start with a purpose and end at a loss

As the weight of the cross grows heavier with the mass..

you disappear -bit by bit - as each new thought and each new view is pounded into you..

Who can speak louder - who can overpower 

Who can do most evil yet smell like a flower...

let’s cover up the stench

And bury the lies - until each truth simply dies..

Confusion abounds - your mission unclear -

Why oh why is it no one can hear...

I’m speaking I’m certain till I’m blue in the face

But we’ve lost something special - this human race-

without love as the base, we have no case..

M.I.A.

can you see 

can you feel

Just how real..

You set off a dream... 

was this a scheme gone awry..

a serious or fatal accident of the heart..

Bearing the casualty of the firestorm brewing within..

I don’t wish you to be an echo of a memory I can never forget 

Don’t leave me to it alone

your intentions unknown 

let’s share this mishap together -

Think on, consider, conceive the world of a you and me

feel the flames of my hopes 

And the heat of my dreams 

Let me singe you with love that is bursting from my seams..

It’s okay, it’s alright - I’ve got you in my sights

dupe me, trick me, just don’t leave me 

for I’m M.I.A. in the games you play...

Hail to Me

Lips are moving 

I can’t hear you 

Heart is beating 

I can’t feel you 

shielded in,

Covered, protected 

so well guarded..

all smiles tucked away for another day..

Never to light my face again..

Not a dimple, not a twinkle 

No not even a sliver 

Least the house of cards come crashing down..

Fire away &

Stand back

The ricochet will slam you hard..

The holes you feel and see are me disappearing 

never to be seen again

the decay of you & me is all I see

A chapel built around the image of we..

No longer what we were once meant to be..

broken down - on my hands and knees..

Let’s set our hearts free

reach for me please..
